AMA Sanchez: Ask me questions that I won't answer.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Why does Florida attract so many shady, sketchy, or even outright criminal elements? (anti-Castro exiles turned CIA agents, organized crime, cartels and traffickers, money launderers, literally most of the 9/11 hijackers...) Is it a big part of it that famous "Miami Vice?"

I have a lot of 9/11 connections. One of my teachers went to the same gym as the hijackers, and he claimed they were quite rude and aggressive. On the other hand, my late grandmother lived in the same complex as some of the hijackers. She never really interacted much with them at all, but said they seemed like quiet, respectful people. She assumed they were students and later recognized one in particular from the news coverage because she remembered he used to drive a convertible with its top down at all times, even in the downpouring rain.

I think Florida’s swampy terrain has to do a lot of it. My dad’s best friend used to fly coke from the Dominican Republic into the Everglades to an isolated airstrip in the eighties. Cuban exiles based their camps their too. And long before them, Florida was a haven for escaped slaves and pirates. Plus the fact that we’re very close to Cuba and the Bahamas adds to it.

Jesus man, you have quite the collection of stories!

No, I’m merely a collector of stories. My dad on the other hand...

-Was at The Doors concert in Miami where Jim Morrison exposes himself. He says he totally missed the incident because his friend “Brother Rabbit” (his real nickname - it was like 1969 man) was just passed the joint when several burly cops subsequently tackled him and dragged him out of the venue.

-Built Don King’s office. It’s off I-95 in Deerfield and has a very large sign that portrays a crown and the words “Don King - ONLY IN AMERICA!” He says they were acquainted with one another during the period but I don’t think they’ve done any business in over thirty years.

-Isn’t involved in organized crime but I’m positive he knows who is and who isn’t in Broward. The Swedish mob is a real thing, they’re very interested in scrap metal, and for some reason they’ve landed in Broward County of all places. He and his friends did a lot of drugs in the day, but he was never directly involved in anything heavy duty. He surely knew about things, but he was smart enough to not get involved.

-Bought his first parcel of land from a real life unrepentant ex-Nazi. The body shop built by Herr Whateverhisnamewas still exists.

My father owns an entire block of industrial land, FWIW. He buys and sells trucks, rents parking spaces to corporate trucking fleets, and is a landlord to a body shop and truck rental service. My youngest brother is our top priority so we don’t live as extravagantly as our neighbors do (though we’re beyond comfortable too), but things are good. Especially in this economy - my dad often says we’ve never had it so good, which was the origin of one of my prior screennames here. Eventually I’m going to write my dad’s biography. It’s a story worth telling.

Don't forget homeless people high on bath salts eating each other's faces, people robbing stores dressed as turkeys and airplane wings being eaten by alligators.

I witnessed my first and only Floka freakout at a gas station recently during the break. Some dude went running through the gas station and the owner Steve chased him off.

Boxers or briefs?

Boxers.

I enjoyed this thread. Sorry for the delayed responses. Keep ‘em coming.

How would you have voted in 1948 and 1968, and why?

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

How now brown cow?

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

How would you have voted in 1948 and 1968, and why?

1968 is a tough one. Without hindsight? Probably Wallace. My grandma had two sisters who worked for the government in the early to mid sixties and met a lot of interesting characters from the era (one was even “Mrs. USDA”), and they supported Wallace at the time. They even had a Wallace banner on their steps. I’d ask my grandma more about it if she were still with us.

But I’m a big Nixon fan despite the fact that I’d (probably) vote for Wallace and definitely McGovern four years later.

Oh and 1948 was one of those elections where literally all the candidates sucked.

How now brown cow?

Is this a Family Guy reference? My best friend said this exact phrase recently.

Wow, you would have been a very rare kind of voter, a Wallace-McGovern voter from the South

I'm also unsure how you can say you're a big fan of Nixon if you wouldn't have voted for him in '68 or '72.

Who is your Favourite president and why?


Do you enjoy Floridian weather?


How would you have voted in the 1964 election?


What do Americans think of Australians in general and does it differ by state/region?

[RINO Tom]

Why did you vote for Romney?  You would have made a swell Obama-Trumper.

[All Along The Watchtower]

Why do you hate America? When did you stop beating your wife?

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Why did you vote for Romney?  You would have made a swell Obama-Trumper.

I didn’t. I backed Gary Johnson in 2012 when he was still actually Gary Johnson. Before that I was a complete Paultard.

My favorite President is a complex question to answer. I think Nixon was the most intelligent, interesting, and frankly endearing President we’ve ever had. Coolidge, Cleveland, Jefferson, Washington, Lincoln, and Jackson are also favorites of mine.

Weather depends; while I prefer North Florida to South Florida, I still miss the much warmer climate of Palm Beach County. It’s too cold for too long here in the winter. Anything under 60 is cold to me, but my ideal temperature is in the seventies range.

In 1964, with and without hindsight, I would have been an extremely enthusiastic Goldwater supporter. He was a little too hawkish for my taste, but none the less I’d be on board.

A (reasonably) famous Australian golfer and her wife live across the street from me in Boynton. They have a big ass house with a gate. We think she doesn’t like us because my mom accidentally offended her by trying to introduce her two lesbian friends at a party, and it came across as an awkward “here’s my token black friend” kind of thing in hindsight. She’s not at all a nasty person and is in fact quite nice when we rarely run into/acknowledge each other. Pretty sure she’s the only Aussie I know, but yeah, we like ‘Straya.

My first swim coach was an elderly New Zealander. I’ve never seen teeth like that in my life. Holy hell.

America, when will you be angelic? When will you take off your clothes? America why are your libraries full of tear?

Also how do u feel about legalizing crack, meth, heroin etc for commercial production and sale?

Just saw part II of this question - forgive me for not responding.

I am adamently against the use of any drugs other than marijuana, or psychedelics like LSD, Mushrooms, or DMT (the last of which I have yet to try). But I think they should be decriminalized to a degree; I think heroin addiction is a public health problem, not a criminal one. So instead of locking up addicts, they should be instead made to detox.

While I support the complete legalization of marijuana and decriminalization of everything else, this is purely for the users/victims of this viscious cycle. I support expanding penalties for dope pushers and peddlers who fuel the addictions of their victims.

When my own brother was detoxing (btw - he has about two months sober and is doing better than I am!), his dealers would text him like vultures. One even threatened him when he told him he would no longer be making purchases. These people are devils. If I could kill a man and not face any repercussions for it, it'd almost certainly be one of these peddlers.

Are you single?  Spark wants to know.

More seriously, glad to hear your brother's improving.  Two months sounds great and I hope it continues.

Single and ready to tingle...though I've met two girls in the last two weeks who asked me for my number - that literally hasn't happened since High School .

I've been crushing on the first one for a while, but then I met the second one and my romantic inclinations towards the former evaporated, though I'm still pursuing a friendship with her as she is indeed a very unique and special person.

Thanks for the kind words, Scott - I still cringe in embarrassment and shame at some of the hurtful things I said to your during our big spat last year. I'm glad we're friends, and I hope you know that I pray regularly for you and your mom

-Mexican chick
-Chinese chick (best of my life)
-Mixed chick
-Fat chick

Thanks for answering! Yes indeed, New Zealanders have poor dental hygiene (and poor hygiene in general).

Did you read about the British rednecks who traveled NZ and caused havoc wherever they want? It was hilarious!

Flo Rida or Pitbull?

Since ur from Florida.

If you had to choose a state on the West Coast to live in, which one would it be?

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Neither. I have never liked rap or contemporary pop music at all. In fact, the only contemporary musicians I really enjoy are in the bluegrass/folk/jam band areas.

If you had to choose a state on the West Coast to live in, which one would it be?

Does Hawaii count?

[HillGoose]

I herd they outlawed beach parties in PCB so what's the new place to go in Florida on Spring break to party with friends?

Is Daytona Beach as dope as I hear? Or should we just go to Miami or Vero Beach?
